Abstract

Abstract: Exploration of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) has been conducted previously in urban area, the Medan city, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The survey reported a number of NTF species inhabiting soil samples of organic wastes and decaying litter. Upon finding a suitable NTF isolate as nematode biocontrol agent, species identification is currently carried out based on molecular evidences. One morphotype named isolate DS01 is suspected as member of Arthrobotrys based on morphological characteristics. Molecular sequencing on rDNA or ITS-DNA region has successfully been performed. The genetic sequence was analyzed with database retrieved in NCBI, revealing the identity of A. thaumasia/M. thamasium . Based on recent findings, this is the first report on indigenous strain of A. thaumasia from Indonesia.
